Third Congress of Farmers Alliance Meets in Indianapolis
The Supreme Council of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union of America held its third meeting in Indianapolis with representatives from 36 states. Officers were reelected and the Illinois platform was endorsed with minor changes. A proposal to boycott a Rochester clothing combine was debated, and changes to bylaws limited voting by agents and allowed farmer wives to pay per capita tax. The council discussed a future national gathering and outlined delegate representation and expenses.
